David Leitch may be in talks to direct Ocean’s 14, as we confirmed just last month, but we’re told that will not be his next project, as he’s currently moving quickly toward production on a new bank heist action flick at Amazon, we can confirm.
The film’s title and plot details are being kept under wraps. Leitch will work from a hot script by Mark Bianculli. Kelly McCormick and Leitch will produce under their 87North banner, alongside Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody and Allan Mandelbaum, with Bianculli serving as executive producer of the project.
Known for his work on films like Bullet Train and Atomic Blonde, Leitch is coming off of The Fall Guy, a stuntman-themed action comedy for Universal, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, which unspooled last March after premiering at SXSW, grossing around $181 million global. Under his 87North banner, he also recently produced Uni’s action comedy Love Hurts, starring Ke Huy Quan.
Recently under an overall deal at Sony, Bianculli is perhaps best known for co-creating and exec produced the NBC series Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector. On the film side, he wrote the Cliffhanger reboot, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Pierce Brosnan & Lily James, which is currently in post.
Upcoming for Imagine is Luca Guadagnino’s thriller After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri, which Amazon MGM releases in theaters on October 10.
THR was first to the news of Leitch’s new project.
